what does amuse me, in a darkly ironic way, is a lot of people are getting
all excited about an Indian crop failure who never gave a tuppenny damn
about india, crops or weather before GM. I wonder how many of them ever
bothered posting when a conventional Indian crop fails?

Hang on a tick though.

Last season they had unusual extensive droughting because the monsoons
didn't reach west. There was extensive crop failure to the extent that
it was on UK news. World grain prices even bumped up on the back of it.

Hmm, isn't one of the problems with maize that drought during flowering
kills pollination?

Mind you, claiming from the seed house is a nice trick if you can wangle
it.....
